<![CDATA[Destination quality is shaped not only by natural attractions but also by accessibility, amenities, and supporting services. This study examines how a visitor's experience can be used to assess the quality of North Galesong Beach, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, using the four components of attraction, accessibility, amenities, and ancillary services (4A). A descriptive qualitative reflective single-case design was applied. Data came from the first author's field observation notes, personal photo documentation, and a literature review, and were analysed through data reduction, 4A-based coding, and comparison with prior studies. The sea view at sunset and visitor activities formed the core of the attraction experience. Road conditions and directional signs supported access. Among amenities, the spacious parking area, a clean food area, and a beachside swimming pool created a positive impression, whereas the coastal zone was judged to need better management. Ancillary services could not be assessed because observations were insufficient. The findings suggest that high physical suitability for beach recreation does not automatically translate into a well-managed visitor experience. Because the data derive from one observer's single visit, the results are exploratory and not generalisable to all visitors; they serve as a basis for subsequent studies using interviews, questionnaires, or Importance–Performance Analysis.
